Description

This handcrafted yoga clock (available in 16" or 20" square) beautifully weaves together art, philosophy, and mindfulness. Each hour is marked in Sanskrit count—Ekam, Dve, Trini, Chatvari, Pancha, Shat, Sapta, Ashta, Nava, Dasha, Ekadasha, Dvadasha—gently reminding you of the rhythmic sequencing of breath and movement in yoga practice. At the heart of the clock rests a graceful yogic silhouette, symbolizing balance in every moment of the day.

Encircling the clock are the Five Friends of Yoga—virtues that support inner growth—and the Five Enemies of Yoga—tendencies to recognize and release. Together, they serve as a daily compass for mindful living.

Five Friends of Yoga (Virtues to cultivate):

• Satya – Truthfulness; living in alignment with your authentic self
• Ahimsa – Non-violence; compassion toward self and others
• Ishvara Pranidhana – Surrender to the divine; trust in a higher wisdom
• Brahmacharya – Moderation; directing energy with intention and balance
• Aparigraha – Non-grasping; freedom from clinging and excess

Five Enemies of Yoga (Tendencies to avoid or transform):

• Uddhacca – Restlessness; unsettled, agitated mind
• Vikshepa – Distraction; scattering of attention
• Raga – Attachment; craving what pleases us
• Dvesha – Aversion; resisting or rejecting what we dislike
• Styana/Middha – Laziness & mental dullness; inertia and lack of clarity

Every glance at this clock becomes a mindful moment—a reminder to breathe, return to presence, and choose wisdom over habit. Ideal for meditation spaces, yoga studios, wellness rooms, or any sanctuary corner of your home, this clock is both a functional timepiece and a poetic spiritual guide.
